A little bit behind showing you what I got this week at Walgreens. There are several good deals, including freebies after R.R. One thing I have learned since I started hard core couponing that even if it's free it might not be a deal for me. Plus I live in an area that taxes before coupons so free isn't actually free, I still pay the taxes on it. If I lived in an area that taxed after coupons then I would jump on more deals especially the free ones. Of course sometimes it might not be something I could use but I think if it's something that could be donated to a shelter. I currently have a bag full of deodarants that I won't use quickly enough so I will be taking them down to the local woman's shelter where they will be used and are needed. So this week I focused on things I needed and passed on somethings that though it was a good deal it wasn't something I neeeded at the moment or could use.<br />
<br />
4 Nivea For Men Body Wash $10.00 Minus $3.00 M.C. 10/17 R.P. x's 4<br />
4 Glade Candles $12.00 Minus $3.00 B1G1 M.C. 9/26 S.S x's 2<br />
4 Dt. Coke $14.00<br />
2 Pringls $3.00<br />
2 Oreo Cookies $6.00 Minus $1.00 M.C.<br />
1 Listerine Agent Blue $2.99 Minus $1.00 M.C. <br />
<br />
I also used two $3.00 R.R. that I had from a previous trip.<br />
<br />
O.O.P. $21.51 ($3.52 was taxes)<br />
Earned: $5.00 R.R. (Coke, Pringles, and Oreos) and $1.00 R.R. (Listerine)<br />
Saved: $56.04 <br />
<br />
I was just going to get the Dt. Coke since it's the same price I pay normally at Wal-Mart but when I discovered that I could buy a few more items I would get a $5 R.R. the deal got better. For $3 more than just buying the Dt. Coke I was able to get 2 Pringles and 2 Oreos breaking them down to $0.75 each! The Nivea was free minus the taxes and since my store gives me overage I applied it to the candles which were $2 for the four of them minus the taxes. The Listerine I paid $0.99 for after coupon and R.R. So it was a higher money day for me but I got the pop at my normal price plus a few other wanted/needed items. Also I was able to save over $50 for the items I did get. Most weeks I don't spend over $5 including tax and this week was the same if you take out the pop I normally buy at Wal-Mart. Next week there seems to be some good deals coming up and I will focus rolling the R.R. I have and keeping my out of pocket expense as low as possible.<br />

Today is one of my full days off from the library when my precious child is off learning or at least pretending to be learning. Normally these days are filled with organizing grocery lists, going to the grocery store, completing shopping lists for a board I belong to, cleaning the house, planning menus, organizing coupons, thinking of things to say on here now that I am back to writing, along with other things that are easier to do without the presence of a child.<br />
<br />
Instead I am sitting here watching Oprah and half attempting working on my grocery lists for tomorrow and this weekend. I have finally managed to finalize them and now must pull coupons that I need for each store. The day is slipping away and before I know it, it will be time to go pick up my son and do the dinner and homework gig that is required of me.<br />
<br />
Plus Thursday's seem more busy when he gets home because I work Wednesday nights and so I only have about an hour to talk to him before I head out the door, not returning until he is in bed. So we have things that weren't discussed the day before on top of things that happened today. It's even more crazy the weekend he goes to his Nana's from Friday after school until Sunday before dinner.<br />
<br />
So I somehow must find the motivation I so need to get the things that need to get done before the mom hat comes back on this afternoon. Sometimes I find myself wearing more than one hat at a time and know that is all part of being a mom. Have a great day everybody, I am off to find my motivation.Frugality Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07585369245691354857noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8260600616578377326.post-91090345584611498202010-10-13T09:37:00.000-05:002010-10-13T09:37:33.129-05:00It Smells Like BENGAY<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yx3KAti1q7A/TLXCKI-89NI/AAAAAAAABlE/uNG74jNYf8g/s1600/bengay.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yx3KAti1q7A/TLXCKI-89NI/AAAAAAAABlE/uNG74jNYf8g/s1600/bengay.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"></div><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Nothing says morning than the smell of BENGAY. I thought I had years before I had to start my mornings with a nice slather of arthritis cream in order to move. Apparently though I was wrong and for the past two mornings I have rubbed it on my shoulder due to lack of movement. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I wish I would have listened when others said take care of yourself while your young. But no I played hard and now at 31 I am paying for my sins of my youth. Things pop, creak, and moan when I move. I can predict the weather better than the weatherman at times. Normally it's my back or neck but this time I get to add shoulder to the list. Apparently passing out and sleeping on one side tends to make your shoulder go stiff and refuse to move. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Though I have discovered a second use for BENGAY, it will open your sinuses better than anything out there first thing in the morning. Of course it also guarantees no one will mess with you because the smell is so strong no one wants to get close to you. So I am off to doctor my arm and pretend to get things done until the 10 year old comes home and I go off for a night of work at the library. Have a great pain free day everybody. </div>Frugality Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07585369245691354857noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8260600616578377326.post-65602631501986672672010-10-12T18:46:00.000-05:002010-10-12T18:46:25.033-05:00Hello Friends!Yes I realize it's been a few months since we last saw each other but well life got in the way. I would love to say I have been on trips around the world but no just trying to hang on to my sanity during a difficult time. Being laid off and only working part time tends to make a person lose themselves in the midst of the sadness. But what I have realized is I have missed writing each day. This time though it won't be just about the deals, it will also be about my life and raising a 10 year old boy. <br />
<br />
I will still show you the great deals I get and pass on information about other deals when I can. I will also show you how I have managed to keep the cabinets full despite the money flow I was used to. Plus Christmas is fast approaching and I will show you how I am giving my son a good Christmas without a lot of out of pocket expense.<br />
<br />
During these months of not working a lot I have been learning how to cook more from scratch and less from box and will probably show you dishes from time to time. <br />
<br />
I have been getting to know my son better and spending lots more time with him, enjoying this time until I have a full time job that doesn't allow the spontaneous trips we have gotten used to.<br />
<br />
I have taught myself to knit and I am currently working on a shawl that I hope to finish before my son graduates high school. I have read lots, tends to happen working part time at a library. I haven't done a lot cross stitch wise but I am getting back to it since I am making bookmarks for those I work with on a daily basis. <br />
<br />
I was also lucky to go on a trip this past June to the east coat and hope to have a post about that soon.<br />
<br />
Well I have think I have said enough for now but know you will be seeing me more and I won't be a stranger anymore. Have a great day everybody.Frugality Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07585369245691354857noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8260600616578377326.post-63768258181613650042010-03-21T20:08:00.001-05:002010-03-21T20:09:36.641-05:00Menu Plan Monday 3/22<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yx3KAti1q7A/S6bAT0SSORI/AAAAAAAABks/YNRzOhcA2MA/s1600-h/mpm-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="160" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yx3KAti1q7A/S6bAT0SSORI/AAAAAAAABks/YNRzOhcA2MA/s320/mpm-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

<br />
I am sorry the posts have been few and far between lately. I am finding it hard to find grocery store deals like I did when living in Texas and it has put me in a slump due to this. I have also changed my eating habits so I won't be buying a lot of what I normally did with coupons. I will still be using coupons to get those great deals on household and personal products because you can't beat a free razor and that is money I can use towards my new eating habits. I will still be searching for the deals on meat and other products I am now eating and even keeping my eyes peeled for coupons that I can use on them. I am hoping to be able to show how I save money on household and personal products with coupons and deals and use the savings to keep my food budget close to what I was spending before. <br />
<br />
Also stay tuned this week for not one but two giveaways I will be holding. <br />
<br />
I am also going to start posting once a week link ups to deals around the blogosphere for the different stores out there. If you post deals for a store let me know and I will be glad to put it in my weekly post. Off to try to finish my menu for the week and plan my grocery list. Have a great weekend!Frugality Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07585369245691354857noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8260600616578377326.post-56082593656133276442010-03-07T21:16:00.000-06:002010-03-07T21:16:32.945-06:00Menu Plan Monday 3/8<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yx3KAti1q7A/S5RpWpWlBHI/AAAAAAAABkc/fN9JbsXs9FM/s1600-h/mpm-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yx3KAti1q7A/S5RpWpWlBHI/AAAAAAAABkc/fN9JbsXs9FM/s320/mpm-1.jpg" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

It's another month which means time for some baking! Right now I am just focusing on muffins and other items to make for a quick breakfast or a simple snack. After taking stock of the freezer I still have enough pancakes and waffles for M but muffins are needed since there are no more. I am making only two kinds this month since I am trying to limit my bread consumption. Both are first time for me so hoping I have good results like I did last month. I will do my baking on Monday afternoon when I get home from work.<br />

Quick trip to Walmart yesterday to pick up some items needed for the next week that I couldn't get at Aldi. The milk I could have gotten cheaper at Aldi but I can't use coupons there so the buy a gallon of milk get a half gallon of chocolate milk free coupon I can't use there. So in the end I still come out cheaper doing it at Walmart than buying them both at Aldi. I am also redoing the way I eat so I might spend a little more than I used to but by saving on household and personal products I can still come out even in the end. I still have a trip to Aldi on Sunday but I still came in at $120 this month on groceries and still have things to use next month! With that information on to what I bought and saved.<br />

Made two trips to Walgreens in the past two days. There are some great deals to be had this week with combining the right coupons with the right sales. The great thing about my OOP expense is that it's being paid for by my survey's that I do for Pine Cone Research. $3.00 is added to my pay pal account the day after completeing a survey and then I just use my Pay Pal debit card to pay for my Walgreens trips! So far I have been doing enough survey's each week to come out even. I am hoping that my good luck with getting the survey's will last. Now that you know how I cover the OOP expense on to the deals!<br />
